Q. What are mink lashes?
A. Eyelash strips and extensions made from the collected fur of the mink animal. Mink fur is 100% natural so it provides a beautiful natural shine and it's super lightweight and very flexible, giving a feather-like, wispy look. They are a quality product and should be looked at as a cosmetic investment.
Q. I've never worn fake eyelashes. Are they hard to put on?
A. While practice makes perfect, getting used to applying false lashes can be a little tricky. Applying your lashes properly will involve trimming, close contact of tools in the eye area, and even cutting you lashes. YouTube has many tutorials on application techniques and tips. Your Lillie Mae Minks are an investment, and to get the proper usage from your purchase I recommend practicing with an inexpensive set of synthetic or human hair lashes first.
Q. How long will they last?
A. Lillie Mae Minks can be worn up to 25 times, or more, with proper care. Longevity will be based on hygiene standards and lifestyle wear and tear. Always clean your lashes regularly. Lillie Mae Minks suggests replacing your lashes after a max of 30 wears.
Q. Can I sleep in them?
A. Please don't!
Q. Will these damage my actual lashes?
A. Contrary to popular belief, lash strips and extensions do not damage the natural lash with proper application and removal. Each babe is different. Research a preferred method for you.
Q. Is your lash glue safe?
A. Our lash glue is manufactured outside of the USA and may contain ingredients that are not compatible with all skin types. Lillie Mae Minks strongly suggests that if you have sensitive skin to refrain from usage and stick with a lash glue that you know works for you.
Q. Why should I purchase from you? I can get the same lashes cheaper "over there".
A. While that may be somewhat true we here at Lillie Mae Minks value our customers. You are not a quick sale to us, and you deciding to invest in our brand means so much to us. Our lashes are with purpose, and shopping with us contributes to that purpose. We will be hosting raffles, giveaways, and would like to grow into a community active small business. We are working on ways to use our income to provide back to the community. Stay tuned for updates!
Q. What does cruelty free mean?
A. Our lash fibers are obtained or collected for manufacture in such a manner that is not cruel or inhumane to the mink animal.
